The Shell Collector

I have to admit I made this collage about five years ago but it has always been one of my all time favorites.  The woman is a found photograph.  Shells are from a reference book.  As I recall the background pattern is an image from a copy of The Saturday Book which is a marvelous source of collage inspiration and material.

    It's lovely, indeed. Like the shell tiara she has going, and the background is very special. Nice one, CC!

    Wonderful! Reminds me of a Spanish dancer with a fan or castanets.

    Thanks everyone. I am pleased to be compared to Hannah Hoch who blows my mind. This collage was a return to the craft for me and was a real turning point when I created it.
